Tatum Paxley has arrived.
The former NXT Women’s North American Champion had been rumored for a call-up since she dropped the title to Zaria during an NXT episode back in June.
The latest episode of SmackDown from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, saw Charlotte Flair taking on Jade Cargill in a long-anticipated singles match. Flair had her opponent locked into the Figure Four towards the ending of the match but the duo of Michin & B-Fab interfered.

Alexa Bliss then came out with Lilly, and the lights went out. A debuting Tatum Paxley was standing on the ringpost when the lights came back on. The former North American Champion took both Michin & B-Fab out with a crossbody.
The distraction allowed Charlotte to pick up the victory after delivering a Sister Abigail and Natural Selection on Cargill. The trio of Flair, Bliss and Paxley celebrated in the ring to end the show.
Tatum Paxley made her first NXT appearance in January 2022. After a stint on NXT Level Up, she returned to NXT with a new character in November 2023. She went on to have a run with the NXT Women’s Championship as well as the North American Title before her debut tonight.
